Kiltox’s YouTube Shenanigans - 22/01/2025 - THIS MESSAGE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY…..

[Kiltox]

This guy’s hard drive definitely needs checking @Dave_Q- someone who’s not a nonce doesn’t speak like this

 

[Kiltox]

Seems to be capable of commenting like a normal human when he’s watching other channels, mind

 

 

[warren t claim]

I hate to say it, but that's what you signed up for.

Aye probably. It’s a thankless task innit 😉

A bit like moderating an old car forum.

As a 53 year old git I use YouTube as purely a watching exercise. I very rarely feel the need to comment on anything I watch.

Nothing wrong with that. Commenting, clicking like etc helps boost a video because YouTube likes interaction/engagement - but watch time is king at the end of the day.

You just don’t get that kind of engagement anymore… 🤣

Hey @Kiltox seen this?

Hampshire / Portsmouth Council turned off 100 on street parking chargers due to safety concerns.

 

[Kiltox]

Oh wow I haven’t - I’ll check it out. 

[Kiltox]

I get so many emails from random Chinese companies asking me to review their tat.  I've done it a few times and nobody watches the videos, so it's actually pretty harmful to the channel, but they just keep on coming.

Decided for 2024 I'm going to shake it up a bit - accept absolutely everything they send to me no matter how stupid or irrelevant it is, and make compilation videos unboxing/laughing at/demonstrating it 

This guy does a good job of it for tech stuff:

If it gets small view numbers and damages the channel, why do it?

Or are you going to use a different channel?

Idea being I do it less frequently and try to make it more interesting rather than producing lots of videos dedicated to single products (which are what doesn’t do well) 

[Dave_Q]

If the video looks like a shill review for tat, people aren't going to watch.

If it looks like a comedy compilation of "here's the worst tat I got sent this quarter" then I might watch.

Would you need to confirm with the tat senders that they are OK with their product being presented in a somewhat irreverent fashion?

Definitely more in line with what I’m considering. I’ve told them they’ll appear alongside other products….  

[Wgl2019]

These do some quite entertaining shite reviews in amongst other content and it works well (imo anyway)

 

[Aston Martin]

You made a point I didn't realise, Toyota don't do EV. Apart from the b4xzxzuywnzu67262728-7

 

 

 

 

 

 

[wuvvum]

They do do the only commercially available hydrogen fuel cell car though.

[EspenO]

Toyota sells cars that make them money. Pretty much no car companies (except Tesla) make any money out of their EVs, do they? BYD maybe? 

[Aston Martin]

 

Listen, I was drunk. You probably shouldn't open my box of white powder.

Yeah there's a lot of it about.  Scum gon' scum I suppose

[Kiltox]

Trying hard to revive my upload schedule and the EV news stuff has been doing pretty well recently which is good, just need to keep it regular. 

Been approached by a firm to do a sponsored integration promoting something that isn’t particularly automotive in nature (no it’s not Manscaped you cheeky bastards)

Thoughts? Would it put you off watching the news videos because there was a 60 second ad in there?

Honestly, yes it would. 20-30 seconds or so, fine. 60 seconds, depending on my mood whilst watching youtube, id just click off the video. 

Probably means I've a crap attention span or should pay youtube description to avoid it though 

[Dave_Q]

It wouldn't bother me because vanced/adblock etc. 

It's so ubiquitous you might as well go for it, it's just expected nowadays.

Do they even manage to detect embedded ads? Wow. 

(you’re obviously a cunt for stealing from creators etc etc) 

[Cookiesouwest]

Do what you got to do, to make a living.

A 60 second add in a 120 second vid would be off putting.

60 seconds in 10 mins. No problem

[JJ0063]

As long as it’s not a fucking car vertical advert I don’t mind.

On the phone app yes, it can detect ads, sponsored sections (like Mat Armstrong wanking on about car vertical) and even the old "pls subscribe" bits
